Interpretation of Equine Laboratory Diagnostics
Samenvatting
Interpretation of Equine Laboratory Diagnostics offers a comprehensive approach to equine laboratory diagnostics, including hematology, clinical chemistry, serology, body fluid analysis, microbiology, clinical parasitology, endocrinology, immunology, and molecular diagnostics.
Offers a practical resource for the accurate interpretation of laboratory results, with examples showing real–world applications
Covers hematology, clinical chemistry, serology, body fluid analysis, microbiology, clinical parasitology, endocrinology, immunology, and molecular diagnostics
Introduces the underlying principles of laboratory diagnostics
Provides clinically oriented guidance on performing and interpreting laboratory tests
Presents a complete reference to establish and new diagnostic procedures
